These Carres Conte a Paris Colored Pencils have square shape, no wood, vibrant, natural colors, unique in the world, perfect for sketches, landscapes, caricatures, portraits, etc. They are made from natural pigments (iron oxides, carbon black, titanium dioxide, etc.), combined with clay (kaolin) and binder (cellulose ether).

Carré, actually meaning "square" in French, refers to the shape of the pencil. This highly versatile square shape allows for a multitude of different angles to be used for precision, detail, or quick coverage of large areas using the pencil's flat edge. Acting with different pressure, different color intensity is obtained (the higher the pressure on the pencil, the denser the color will be).

Carres Conte a Paris colored pencils are harder than pastels or charcoals, having a special resistance to breaking.
The founder of the Conté à Paris company, whose name it bears, Nicolas Jacques Conté (1755 - 1805) was a painter, chemist, physicist and inventor of the modern pencil. In 1794 he developed the modern graphite lead from a clay mixture, thus finally making it possible to create different degrees of hardness for pencils. Famous throughout the world, Conté à Paris products have been used and appreciated by renowned artists such as: Picasso, Degas, Delacroix, Lautrec Toulouse and many other contemporary artists. Currently used by professional artists and art students alike, Conté à Paris offers the widest variety of techniques and special effects for drawing, sketching and pastel work - true creative freedom and an unmatched feel.
